The 2020 La Freynelle Petit Verdot has an exuberant bouquet of lively raspberry, cranberry and rose petal scents, veins of blue fruit emerging with aeration. The oak here is nicely integrated. The medium-bodied palate offers fine tannins and well-judged acidity. Smoother than its Cabernet Sauvignon counterpart with a gentle grip on the finish. This is another well-crafted varietal from Veronique Barthe.
